Pereira prétend un témoignage
Synopsis
In August 1938, as Europe descends into fascism and war, Pereira, the cultural editor of a Lisbon newspaper, meticulously recounts a tragic period of his life. Obsessed with death, this ordinary man has long sought refuge in the past, avoiding the harsh realities of his present. However, a series of encounters will soon challenge his detachment, forcing him to confront the limitations of aesthetic considerations in a world on the brink.
